Sum of a list of numbers if they're a certain value or not

I have a list of numbers, and I'm trying to determine the sum of all of the numbers that have a value less than 55. I know that this will involve some sort of logic set-up, but I'm not familiar with how to set it up exactly. Any help is really appreciated.

Or even (without using sum)
x.'*(x<55)
[edit]
for x being a matrix
x = randi(100,20,20);
sx = x(:).'*(x(:)<55);

reading from left to right the line x(:).'*(x(:)<55);
x(:) returns all elements of x in a column (see doc colon)
.' transposes x(:)from column to row
* is matrix multiply
(x(:)<55) returns a column of 1's & 0's (1 is true x(n),55)
in summary, you are transforming the matrix in to 1 row and matrix multiplying it by a column of boolean values generated by the logical test. The addition is implicit in the matrix multiply

Alternatives:
sum(x .* (x <= 55))
or
sum(x(find(x<=55)))

No, that's not it. It works just fine with <=. I just changed it to less than because that's what you said. But <= will also work fine - just try it. There must have been some other reason that you're not telling us and we don't know because you didn't share your code.

@Walter: What about logical indexing? FIND is not useful here:
sum(x(x<=55))
